Temptonik Manifesto

In this article we will briefly explain
what Temptonik is, why was it created and why is it worthwhile to
give it a try.

Temptonik is a webservice that ranks
your singing. It plays backing
music and scrolls musical
score while recording your voice. A small dot indicates in real time
whether you sing the right notes. If you wish to practise
offline, you can download either the recording or the sheet music.

Yes, we created Temptonik, despite few
similar programs being out there and doing well. After some testing,
we were grossly unsatisfied with all of the competing solutions. Each
of those tried to overcompensate sloppy voice ranking by colorful
visualizations, thus providing the Users with Guitar-Hero-kind of
entertainment. Even large companies, with multi-million revenues, did
not take the trouble to create a reasonable voice ranking engine.

Temptonik is a result of
long-standing research on digistal signal processing. Our
algorithm, which was invented and implemented by Polish engineers,
currently seems to be the leading solution in its field. It is not
just a Fourier transform; it is an immense amount of knowledge at
your service, brought to you with the power of Adobe Crossbridge.

Practicing with Temptonik is not a
waste of time. By singing the notes you gain (or improve) the
ability to read the musical score. Piano-roll representation, common
in competing solutions, gives you no such chance.

Temptonik offers clean backing music. At Temptonik you will never find those
cheesy MIDI sounds that make your ears bleed. Your singing is backed
by the sounds of grand piano, exactly as when rehearsing with an
accompanist.

Temptonik redefines accompaniments.
Pieces of sheet music that
happen to go around the internet are mostly composed of broken chords
and the melody. This is certainly
NOT what we are offering
here.

Finally, Temptonik is built
upon great repertoire. Although there is no accounting for
tastes, we believe that we are not the only ones fed up with
contemporary pop music.

Being the musicians ourselves, we
designed Temptonik to match our own needs. Join us to discover the
new quality in the world of music!
